Business Outlook

Pros

Great compensation and great benefits

Cons

Top heavy management and not enough regular employees to do the jobs expected. Many of the managers have been promoted far above their intelligence which has led to losing contracts, etc. Poor communication and managers are out of touch with reality. Not enough employees to run production but multiple managers. Morale among production workers and regular employees was horrible.
